I like them and have spent several hours standing in water (long story!) with wonderfully dry feet. If you are going to use them make sure that you don't want to put them on or remove them in a hurry! Can't remember the sizing needed (I've had mine a while now) but loads of places stock them and in green as well.

PETER, I thought you would know all about gucci kit. I will never watch who dare wins again I'm a size nine and I've got size large which were issue. As above don't think you can put them on in a hurry (fcuking emotional). I have them permantley attached to a set of the issue winter boots which is ok dependant on what job or trade you are. I tend to use them for snow conditions. You can get them fairly cheeply if you look around for them however to get a proper seal you need Berghaus boots. And please don't think they are an army/gucci replacement for welly's/wader's

They are proving rather hard to track down, and without taking out a loan to buy them. Without been too necky, dont supose anybody has a buckshee pair and willing to sell them to me. Willing to pay for them and pay postage???

My god, do people still use them ?!?!? I recall they were all the rage late 80s/early 90s, couldn't do a NI Border tour without a pair, that is of course till the rubber accross the sole snagged a bit of barbed wire and you got a blow out.

They were good with proper walking boots but a little pants with issue boots, but looking at some of the boots out nowadays they might fit, I personally never used them but had (in fact still have) a plain set of canvas gaiters that I waxed and wore with my scarpas (once I had dyed the boots black)
